A detailed definition of malware is provided in the second module, which also discusses the various different types of malware and the most common sources of malware.  The potential consequences of being infected with spyware are also examined, along with keystroke logging attacks and the importance of preventing malware infection, rather than simply dealing with its effects.

Unit 4 - Developing Cyber Security policies

The course concludes with a detailed dissection of the effective cybersecurity policy, outlining who takes responsibility for the policy’s enforcement and management.  The concept of due diligence is also introduced, along with the potential consequences of insufficient cyber security training and the contribution every member of the workforce makes to everyday cyber security.
